EV Charger Installation Connecticut
A Level 2 home EV charger adds 20–30 miles of range per hour vs. 3–5 miles from a standard outlet. TJF Electric is a CT-licensed electric vehicle electrician — we install permitted, inspected Level 2 hardwired chargers and NEMA 14-50 outlets for Tesla, Ford, GM, Rivian, and all EV brands across Connecticut. Charge fully overnight, every night.
Why Hire a Licensed EV Electrician in Connecticut
A Level 2 charger is a new 40–60A circuit, not an appliance you plug in. Here is what you get from an EV charger installer who does this every week.
CT-licensed master electrician
Family-owned and hands-on — Tyler Faye is a CT-licensed master electrician (E1-0209943), fully insured, and leads his licensed team on every job.
Permit pulled, inspection scheduled
Level 2 EV charger installs require an electrical permit in Connecticut. We pull the permit and schedule the CT electrical inspection as part of every install — you never file paperwork with the town.
Load calculation before we quote
We run a service load calculation on your panel during the free walk-through, so you know up front whether your existing service carries the charger or whether a panel upgrade comes first. No surprise change orders on install day.
10-year workmanship warranty
Every install is backed by our 10-year written workmanship guarantee, on top of whatever factory warranty your charger carries.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Connecticut?
A Level 2 EV charger installation in CT typically costs $400–$900 for the electrical work, plus the cost of the charger unit ($200–$700). If a panel upgrade is needed, that is priced separately. TJF Electric provides free estimates including a panel assessment.
